About Veneto

Origins

VENETO BAGS is a family-owned company that began in the heart of a small city in Rome, Italy. Its name originates from a local street in Rome named Via Veneto, and due to its close resemblance to the phrase "va bene" - meaning all good - it seemed like a perfect fit for this Italian franchise.

In fact, the father of the Veneto family, better known as "Mr. Veneto,” is the one who found inspiration from the street name and who founded this handbag line that is popular amongst you all today. His inspiration for the handbags stem from quality textiles and elegant designs popularized in Europe. Materials like paglia, vernice stampata, and even the famous Italian leathers were introduced into this brand because of the refinement and ease of life that Italy exudes. In that context, Veneto Bags is one of immaculate European authenticity, in which its designs, materials, and the founder's origins are embedded in the company's handbags.

The company found its way to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, after a decision of expansion on the family's part. This decision meant more than just new grounds, new customers, and new connections, it also signaled a new beginning: The importation of Bags from Italy to Canada was made for the first time by the man who started it all, Mister Veneto.

The "Italian eye" (better-known for having a talent for identifying high quality leathers and elegant handbag design) was transferred to his son, who eventually took over the family company; in which he envisioned a new route for Veneto Bags. He directed the brand to the Southeastern region of Asia, Hong Kong, where new headquarters were established and where he spent the next 20 years expanding Veneto Bags. In that process, other headquarters were developed in the regions of China and Japan as he travelled around Asia. Most importantly, his travels and subsequent expansion of the brand developed his creativity. Japanese culture and fashion greatly shaped Veneto Bags due to his inclusion of Asian styles and designs. His scope of handbag design widened, exemplified in his inclusion of elements like instruments, animals, and even sports. His ideas, combined with the core elements of Italian quality, set Veneto Bags apart from other brands. Veneto Bags is shaped by a love for one's country and worldwide travels, where every handbag is rich in history, culture, and the elements of fashion found in Asia and Europe.
